Tanzania’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic was not initially strong. As existing social and health programming was predominantly oriented towards a rural population, it failed to reach the households in the informal urban economy which were most vulnerable to the virus. However, the government has since made significant efforts to ensure that the majority of the population was reached with its’ vaccination efforts. To tackle food insecurity and address vulnerability to unpredictable events, Tanzania has been working with the World Bank. A salary raise for public employees was introduced and the private sector minimum wage was increased in 2022. In addition, the Tanzania Social Action Fund’s Productive Social Safety Net program aims to increase income and consumption, improve the ability to cope with shocks, and enhance and protect the human capital of children among extremely poor populations. Tanzania has agreed a National Climate Change Response Strategy for 2021-2026, which aims to enhance national resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change. In 2022, the president unveiled a plan to invest US$18bn in renewable power generation
